Patent number: 7392605Abstract: An article of footwear is disclosed that includes at least one of a stretchable upper and an articulated sole structure. The upper may include an exterior layer and an interior layer. The exterior layer forms at least a portion of an exterior of the upper, and the exterior layer includes a plurality of incisions that extend through the exterior layer. The interior layer is located adjacent an inner surface of the exterior layer, and the interior layer is exposed through the incisions. The sole structure may include a connecting portion and a plurality of discrete sole elements. The connecting portion is positioned adjacent the upper and may extend along a longitudinal length of the upper. The sole elements extend from the connecting portion, and the sole elements are separated by a plurality of sipes that extend upward into the sole structure.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2006Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Tobie D.

Patent number: 7181175Abstract: A transmit network for cellular mobile radio networks incorporates tow transmit multiplexers (122ABE) and (122CD): the first transmit multiplexer 122ABE receives a group of output signals from three transmitters (124A, 124B and 124E), and filters them in respective band-pass filters (126A, 126B and 126E); the second transmit multiplexer (122CD) receives a group of output signals from two further transmitters (124C and 124D), and filters them in respective band-pass filters (126C and 126D). The transmit frequencies in each signal group are non-adjacent, which improves isolation between transmitters provided by the filters (126). Filtered output signals from respective band-pass filters (126) are combined at filter outputs (128X and 128Y) from which signals are combined in a combiner (132) providing a degree of isolation between these outputs and enabling the signals to be combined with minimal distortion. Signals from the combiner (132) are fed via a duplexer to a transmit/receive antenna.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Quintel Technology LimitedInventors: Norman Richard Nimmo-Smith, Louis David Thomas, Geoffrey Raymond Bradbeer, John Allerton Spicer, Stephen Bullers
